Hubble has spotted a galaxy that looks like a string of pearls, with a long S-shaped tail, unlike anything we've ever seen.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured yet another beautiful sight. While observing a series of interacting galaxies known as Galaxy AM 1045-325, Hubble spotted what looked like a celestial 'string of pearls.' The unique appearance of the galaxy was caused by magnetic interactions between it and a neighboring galaxy, NASA says. Before these galaxies merged, NASA says that they were rich in dusty clouds of molecular hydrogen that may have remained inert.
The fate of the far-flung star clusters in the string of pearls galaxy is unclear at the moment. They could very well be pulled back into the heart of the galaxy, creating what we call a globular star cluster. Or they could completely disperse and become a halo of stars around the host galaxy. Finally, the third option is that the far-flung stars in this otherworldy string of pearls could just be flung out into the universe, cast off to become wandering stars themselves.
